RE:		Health Alliance HMO

The Senate Committee on Faculty Benefits urges all employees to:

1.	Contact officials at Health Alliance and Central Management 
Services (CMS) asking:
	*That Health Alliance remain an HMO option;
	*That CMS and Health Alliance move with all haste to reach a 
negotiated agreement keeping Health Alliance in the local market; and
	*That CMS and Health Alliance negotiate in good faith, including a 
willingness on the part of both parties to adjust their individual rates 
in order to reach a compromise.

2.	Contact your elected state officials expressing your 
dissatisfaction with the potential loss of Health Alliance, asking that 
they do all they can to keep Health Alliance in the local market.
